It looks great. Fantastic tower. Now lets have another one, or two, or four...

Got confirmation that BG Group is moving into this building and also getting naming rights. It will be called BG Group Place.
BG will have 6 floors (29-34 of midrise) with option for 7 more, first right of refusal.
Currently it is 164,000 sq ft with potential total of 360,000 sq ft.
Tentative move in date is August 2011. KPMG will have top 4 floors (already known) with move in date of Feb. 1, 2001.

Best news is, it's going to be home to their North American Headquarters and represents another solid commitment to downtown.
Having BP and KPMG as lead tenants is pretty damn impressive for a spec building.
It's BG, btw, not BP. And it's a 15-year lease, so yes, it's great to have a solid long term commitment to Downtown.
Also, one thing I heard about the LEED Platinum building is it has some sort of condensation recovery system. How cool is that?

that turned out well
looks very good at night
only thing that kinda not fits that good, is the look of the cut section in daylight it should look more transparent and not like a green concrete part like it is now.

Agreed. The spandrel glass used inside the cutout section is the only part of this tower that I don't like, and it's only during the day, when it's most noticeable. The glass and metal mullions used for the rest of the tower are so good, that it makes that greenish spandrel glass look cheaper by comparison than it probably would normally on it's own. Overall, a good-looking tower, with a minor blemish.

I wonder if it will light up like the new Methodist building in the TMC, that is with alternating colors. I'm not sure if that would fit with the building.
Awesome update. But in response to TexasPlaya's lighting inquiry, I think this buildings is a little too sophisticated for rainbow alternating colors, few modern buildings could pull off alternating colors without making it seem tacky. And I think BG Place should stick to one color lighting, i think a pale blue would be better than white imo.
